I told my crying three-year-old “you are the master of your own fate, you are the captain of your own soul” and he started crying even harder

@maenadea @adesertdryad I was just thinking about The People vs. Larry Flynt the other day
English
@adesertdryad @GilberteDSL Yeah. So much of it was downstream from the arguments about porn as free speech.
English
Without thinking about it too much, was early-aughts raunch culture left-coded or right-coded?
English
@adesertdryad @HHillespie Once a month covers many but not all of the Jewish holidays (doesn’t cover Shabbat services obviously). For Catholics, I don’t know, besides weekly mass you’ve got a lot of saints’ days, right? Are there additional masses for those, and are they obligatory?
English
I love how the comments are about how women are the problem when women have been more religious than men for decades and it was universally decried as “only fit for (dumb, non-rational) women” by these same dudes
InteractivePolls@IAPolls2022
GALLUP POLL: 42% of men aged 18-29 now say religion is "very important" in their lives — a sharp jump from just 28% in 2022-2023. Monthly religious attendance among young men has climbed to 40% (up from 33%), the highest level in over a decade. news.gallup.com/poll/708410/yo…

@GilberteDSL On the other hand, maybe it's good Lyman Stone has moved on from extolling the virtues of virginity until marriage
English
I never planned to change my name when I got married but I wasn't gung-ho about it until I saw how it makes people melt down, including so called liberal feminists bleating about personal choice, and now I'll happily say I'd rather get divorced than take my husband's name.
The Institute for Family Studies@FamStudies
Spouses who don’t share a surname divorce at about a 50% higher rate than those who do share a surname, according to a new analysis from @lymanstoneky (1 of 2) Read more here: ifstudies.org/blog/can-shari…

The future belongs to those who show up at any house of worship whatsoever, with any degree of regularity
“At least the place I go twice a year is super trad” you are literally dying
Maia@maiamindel
The funniest thing is that there's very little evidence of an actual increase in religious *attendance*, which kinda gives away that it's about aura farming online. If God is so important you can get out of the gamer chair once a week to go to His house, no?

@Etanarachel This was a major infohazard for me as an inexperienced teenager

I heavily suspect spending an inordinate amount of time online gives you an extremely skewed view of how the opposite sex is going to treat you.
Donna McLean@Donna__McLean
Two things are, however, distinctly different from 30 years ago: 1. living with/ through the pandemic 2. *online* misogyny
English
@kuperov @ElizabethGMat Lol. I think if they’re going to flip a coin it should happen a LITTLE earlier in the engagement than that!
English
@GilberteDSL @ElizabethGMat normalize having the priest flip a coin at the altar
English
When you get married, if it’s a marriage that means more to both of you than a legal merger, there’s no “his” and “mine” anymore. I would tell my sons not to marry any woman to who wasn’t eager to take his name. NOT because I care in theory whether they take his or hers. But because in practice it’s a sign that she has a view of marriage that’s something other than the kind of oneness on a single team that you should have with a spouse.
Jill Filipovic@JillFilipovic
I truly hate this argument, which assumes men simply have names but women’s are all somehow men’s. By this logic, it’s not your dad’s name either - it’s his dad’s. And not his either - his dad’s. Your name is actually your name. And yes of course women should have the legal right to change their names in marriage but let’s please not lie to ourselves that marital name-changing isn’t incredibly sexist and a very literal manifestation of patriarchal power. So is patrilineal naming for children, btw. One answer to “but it’s my dad’s name” might be to stop giving children dad’s name for a while.

@adastroworld @ElizabethGMat Not my personal preference, but when I am dictator it will still be tolerated
Gilberte de Saint-Loup@GilberteDSL
@ElizabethGMat I will say I personally don’t care for it when couples make up a completely new name that has nothing to do with either of their families of origin. I think they should pick whichever existing family name they like best
English
@ElizabethGMat @GilberteDSL What if husband and wife created a new name together, and both changed?
English
@50percentpawg Oh is THAT why she did that? It’s less troubling than the other possibility I was considering
English
It’s so funny seeing some random girl blocked you & realizing it’s bc we share a reply guy
English
@ScarletAstrorum @nvpkp You’d woo too if it happened to you
English
@Oszillate @NathanpmYoung Yeah so I can model this but I don’t respect it
English
@GilberteDSL @NathanpmYoung IME this seems to be more about whom you see as authoritative rather than anything about the content. WIth only slight loss of charity, if you will, "does not think on their own and follows whatever is popular in their social environment"
English
I find it wild how strong young women's views are on Gaza. And if pushed, will they be able to explain their position in detail?
Scarlett Maguire@Scarlett__Mag
✴️6 in 10 (58%) say they would find it difficult to date someone who disagreed on Gaza ✴️3 in 4 (74%) say the say the same about views of Donald Trump, with even more saying they wouldn't date someone who disagreed about social justice
English
@ElizabethGMat But for me that is an aesthetic problem (the new names are frequently silly), not a moral one
English
@ElizabethGMat I will say I personally don’t care for it when couples make up a completely new name that has nothing to do with either of their families of origin. I think they should pick whichever existing family name they like best
English
@ElizabethGMat I think you see sinister motivations in any deviation from the status quo. I just… don’t
English
@GilberteDSL Sure, all true. But, once again, because the status quo does in fact exist, you will not find a couple who does this out of nowhere. They so much as consider it out of a misguided notion of “his” v “hers.”
